Many hosting customers would prefer having cpanel hosting over standard web hosting as it gives a great range of features and there is a large user base which is familiar with it. You don’t have to take out a shared hosting plan with a web host to use Cpanel. If your rent a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or Dedicated Server, you can install
Cpanel on it. Currently Cpanel only supports the Linux operating system, however a Windows version is due shortly.

One of the largest hosts in the world that uses Cpanel is Hostgator who have over 1,000,000 hosted domains, and offer shared cpanel hosting, cpanel reseller hosting and managed dedicated servers with Cpanel pre-installed.
